Check daily for creosote build up until experience shows how aware that the hotter the re, the less creosote essary in mild weather even though monthly ARNING: I: CONTROLDEPARTMENTThe chimney is critical to the proper operation of the stove. It is the chimney that creates draft; THE STOVE DOES NOT AND CANNOT CREATE DRAFT. The chimney provides two vital functions for proper stove operation. First, it is the passage to exhaust smoke and hot gases created in the combustion process. Secondly, it supplies to sustain combustion. Draft is the natural movement of air or gases through a chimney. Chimney draft comes from the natural tendency for hot (less dense) air to rise. As the hot air rises within the chimney it creates a lower pressure at the bottom of the chimney to which the stove is connected. The higher pressure air outside the stove then rushes into the stove where the lower air pressure level exists, thus bringing oxygen to the re. This constant ow of air is referred to as the draft. Many factors or combination of factors can act together to build or impede the draft. Without the correct amount of draft, the stove will not operate properly. If there is excessive draft, an unsafe condition will arise with too much air being drawn into the stove and creating an excessively hot re. This could cause over ring which runs the risk of igniting structural elements around the stove and chimney.The most common experience is that of insufthe re will be starved for oxygen, improper or incomplete combustion occurs resulting in smoke spillage into the area around the stove. A re that is starved for oxygen will not burn well. Such a re will produce excessive smoke that will cool and condense in the chimney creating creosote. Excessive amounts of creosote buildup can ignite causing a chimney re with the possibility of strucCorrect any draft related issues before using the stove. The following are some possible causes factors may play a role in a draft issue and certain factors may change over time as conditions vary.Atmospheric Pressure and Air SupplyAtmospheric pressure that affects the draft may occur from outside the structure, inside the structure, or both. High pressure weather (clear and cold) usually produces a better chimney draft than low pressure (overcast and damp) conditions. Negative pressure can be created inside a home by appliances that expel air from within such as bathroom vents, range hoods, clothes dryers, and forced air furnaces. Do not allow such appliances to overcome the natural draft. Note that newer homes tend to be built more tightly allowing less make up air to seep freely in. Negative pressure may be overcome by opening a nearby door or window. In extreme conditions of negative draft, the airow in the chimney will reverse direction. This is known as “down drafting.” Page 16 | VG650ELG MOUNTAINvogelzang.comVGZ-025 | 20120424.0 continued Environmental FactorsWind or air deecting off external objects such as the roof, neighboring structures, trees, or hills. These can cause a pressure change in the air surrounding the chimney. Chimney TemperatureThe temperature of the chimney is an important factor in how well it drafts. Warm chimneys draft better than cold chimneys. This is based air sinks. Hot gases going up a cold chimney will cool rapidly. Warm the chimney by allowing a hot re to burn for the rst fteen to thirty minutes after starting the re. Be careful not to over re the stove. If any part of the stove or chimney starts to glow, you are over ring the stove. Masonry chimneys will take longer to warm than manufactured chimneys on account of their greater structural mass. Chimneys that have a ue diameter larger than the stove outlet take more heat to warm, thus resulting in a faster cooling of the hot gases needed to build or maintain draft. Chimney Installation and MaintenanceConfirm that four chimney height requirements listed in the Chimney Connection section of the manual have been met. The physics that link chimney height with of the stove. Failure to meet each of these minimum requirements will have an adverse affect on draft. Avoid long horizontal runs or multiple elbows. Use stove cement to seal joints in the connector pipe section. Regularly clean the chimney, connector pipe, rain cap, and spark arrestor screen. Creosote build up can reduce the chimney draw and possibly create a chimney re.Temporarily out of OperationAfter the re has burned out, open the air control to its fully open position. This will allow warm room air to enter the chimney and keep it as warm as possible until the stove is used again. For assistance involving chimney draft issues, contact a knowledgeable licensed heating and cooling contractor in your area. For questions regarding manufactured chimney, contact the manufacturer of the chimney. NOTE: A TO 0.06 W.. WATERPROPERBURNINGSTOVEAUTION: DNOTOPERATE WCRACBROprevent accumulations of ash. Acidic ash buildup can eventually etch and weaken glass. Creosote accumulations should burn off during hot res. The following usage and safety tips should be observed:1.Inspect the glass regularly for cracks and breaks. If you detect a crack or break, extinguish the re immediately and contact the manufacturer for a replacement before re-ring the stove.glass. When closing doors, make sure that logs Do not build res against (or that might fall against) the glass.4.Do not clean the glass with materials that Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks Never attempt to clean the glass while the unit is hot; allow to dry thoroughly before reuse. If deposits are not very heavy, normal glass cleaners are adequate using a soft, non-abrasive Never put substances which can ignite explosively in the unit.

If the oor protector materials listed in the instructions are not available, materials with an equivalent R-value may be substituted. Alternate materials may be rated with C-factor (Thermal Conductance) or k-factor (Thermal Conductivity) ratings which must be converted to R-value to determine if the alternate material meets the tested requirements. The following instructions provide the proper information and formulas for conversion to R-value.To determine if alternate materials are acceptable follow this sequence.Convert material specications to R-value:a. R-value given — no conversion necessaryb. k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R = 1/k x Tc. C-factor is given: R = 1/CDetermine the R-value of proposed alternate oor protector:a. Use formulas in step 1 above to calculate R-value of proposed material(s). b. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine overall R-value.If the overall R-value of the oor protector system is equal to or greater than the oor protector specications given, the alternate is acceptable.Thermal conductivity (k) = The specs of oor protector material should be 3/4-inch thick material with a k-factor of 0.84.The proposed alternative material is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8-inch mineral board with a k-factor of 0.29.Convert specs to R-value. R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x 0.75 = 0.893 System must have a R-value of 0.893 = RspecsStep 2: Calculate R-value of individual components 4” Brick with C-factor = 1.25. R = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80 = Rbrick 1/8-inch (0.125”) mineral board with k-factor = 0.29. R = 1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431 = Rmin.brd.Step 3: Add R-values of components to get total R-value of system Rsystem = 1.231 is larger than Rspecs of 0.893. System R-value exceeds the required specications and therefore is an acceptable alternative.
